Power Poem

Power Poem

Your words hit me like a thunderbolt

They pearse my heart and I bleed

You turn my power against me

I become the words that you spew

I feel rancid and unworthy



How dare you justify your anger at my expense



I'll take my power back!



I can!



I'll become the person I know I can be

I'll be the person you fear me to be

Your words will still pearce my heart and

my heart will still bleed



I will bleed empathy for your pain, sorrow for your fear,

love for the beauty I see within you



I will pray with love in my heart for you



because I can
